Steel part 4 slides 20-73 part 2

What is the main function of tacking rivets?

• Transfer load

• Improve corrosion resistance

• Prevent buckling in webs

• Connect components in composite sections

Tacking rivets are also known as

• Friction rivets

• Lacing rivets

• Stitch rivets

• Support rivets

In compression members, tacking rivets help to

• Strengthen flanges

• Maintain composite action

• Transfer tensile force

• Replace welds

A lap joint is a type of riveted joint where

• Plates are placed end-to-end

• Plates are overlapped and riveted

• Plates are welded

• Plates are glued

In a double riveted lap joint, how are the rivets arranged?

• In one line

• In zigzag only

• In two parallel rows

• Vertically

A double riveted zigzag joint is commonly used in

• Trusses

• Chimneys

• Tanks

• Bridges only

A double lap joint is formed by

• Using a single cover plate

• Overlapping both ends

• Using two cover plates

• Welding over a bolt

In a single cover butt joint, plates are joined using

• Bolts in two directions

• A single cover plate on one side

• A weld and a bolt

• Angles and gussets

In a double cover butt joint,

• Cover plate is placed on one side

• Welds are used on both sides

• Two cover plates are placed on both sides

• No covers are used

One advantage of riveted joints is

• High cost

• Permanent stress redistribution

• Low maintenance cost

• Low strength
